My Mum...These Are The Days Of Our Lives Documentary

This documentary is about my Mum and her being the 2^nd generation of black Caribbean’s to come over to this country from the Caribbean. My grandmother and my grandfather on my Mums side of the family came over to the UK from Grenada on June 22^nd in the year of 1948. They came over on a ship called the Empire Windrush. They came over here to find work and a better life and it was when they came over here that they had my mother. I know that before my Mum was born it was very hard for my grandparents living in this country initially, so I thought it would be interesting to see how my Mum found it growing up in a country that took her a while to call it her own. Even though she was born in this country, her home life would have been completely different to that of the standard Brit at the time and with integration into the British society being a lot harder back then, life as a black Caribbean youth was completely different then to how it is now. Also the comparisons between how it was back then to how it is now is one of the key themes in this documentary. Then lastly it looks at how she dealt with the death of her father, who she was very close to throughout her whole life. Hope you enjoy J
